They deliberately removed code search for not logged in users almost immediately. Just recently they removed cloning without an account, so now updating my computer requires signing in to github.
Better than Github did pre acquisition, and we actually got new features after years of stagnation. I don’t know what they changed but at least the product moved forward in some way.
… Didn’t they revoke the Minecraft licenses people purchased because they didn’t manage to migrate their Mojang accounts to Microsoft accounts in a short amount of time?
People have absolutely taken a multi-year break from Minecraft before.
Really though, why is there a time limit at all? Google still allows you to convert old Youtube accounts to Google accounts, why can’t Microsoft do the same?
On top of that, even if you did manage to migrate your account, the M$ Minecraft accounts get deleted without warning after some time (2 years?) of inactivity. Guess how I found that out.
I’ll get downvoted for this, but I think they take good care of github and Minecraft. As for the rest though… not so good.

They have been awful stewards.
If with “good care” you mean “the core functionality is up and running most times”, yes
My parents took good care of me, then.
Please take better care of yourself than your parents did! You deserve to feel taken care of <3

Lost access to my OG account because I didn’t find out about this until a month after it was too late.
People were given three years to migrate, I wouldn’t quite call that short

The MS or MC account?
Because my MC account is very dead, while my MS is semi active.
Edit: (Dead meaning not deactivated)
Oh yeah, Minecraft fans will tell you just how much they love their handling of it…
As a Minecraft player, as long as they leave java edition alone I’m fine with it.
